Northflank Skill

An agent skill for deploying, operating, and automating workloads on Northflank. Includes guidance and references for services, jobs, addons, preview environments, release workflows, sandboxes, GPU workloads, domains, secrets, templates, BYOC/BYOK, and the Northflank API and CLI.

Installation

Claude Code

From inside an interactive Claude Code session:

/plugin marketplace add northflank/skills
/plugin install northflank@northflank

Or from your terminal using the claude CLI:

claude plugin marketplace add northflank/skills
claude plugin install northflank@northflank

northflank/skills is the GitHub shorthand for github.com/northflank/skills — Claude Code resolves it to the marketplace at the repo root. Pass a full URL (https://github.com/northflank/skills) instead if you prefer to be explicit.

Other Editors

If your editor supports skill directories directly, copy skills/northflank into its skills directory:

Editor	Skill directory

Cursor	~/.cursor/skills/
OpenCode	~/.config/opencode/skills/
OpenAI Codex	~/.codex/skills/
Windsurf	~/.windsurf/skills/

Usage

After installation, ask Claude Code to do Northflank work directly. The skill should load automatically when the task involves Northflank projects, services, jobs, addons, preview environments, release workflows, AI sandboxes, GPU workloads, domains, secrets, templates, or the Northflank API and CLI.

Examples:

• "Deploy this service to Northflank from ghcr.io/acme/api:latest"
• "Create a preview environment for this branch on Northflank"
• "Set up a Postgres addon and wire its credentials into my service"
• "Help me write a Northflank template for this stack"
• "Use the Northflank CLI to exec into this service and triage this issue"
• "Show me how to deploy this workload to a GPU node pool on Northflank"
